Full Time AS Level Geography

AS Level Geography

Why should I study AS Level Geography?
Understanding the landscape that we see around us is a mind expanding and interesting experience. This 'AS' course is designed to be fast moving, clearly structured and understandable with an emphasis on clarity and variety.

Above all the course is designed to allow students to pass, and pass with a particularly good grade, whilst also enjoying the experience of learning about the landscape we live in.

What will be studied on the course?
The course is a mixture of topics like rivers, glaciated and coastal environments together with the changes that are occurring in cities and the countryside throughout the world. It concludes with the nature and impact of the world's biggest industry - tourism.

Whenever you need it, you will get all the technical help and encouragement you need to pass well.

When does the course start and how long does it last?
The course starts in September and finishes in June.

What qualifications are needed to do the course?
Five GCSE's at grade C and above.

Where is the course based?
The course is delivered at the Lanchester Sixth Form Centre.

How will the learner be assessed?
This is a modular course with two assessment units:

Module F761 'The Physical Environment'(50%)
Module F7621 'The Human Environment' (50%)

How much will the course cost?
All the books and equipment you will need are provided. You may be asked to cover some of the cost of any fieldwork visits we undertake but in general your field course costs, which are great fun, are not expensive.

What progression routes are available?
We hope that your successful completion of the AS course will make you keen to move on to the A2 Geography course by recognising that this second part of your 'A' Level is also structured to give a high success rate and secure the best examination grade possible. In addition many Geography graduates use their degree qualification to gain entry to higher-level trainee management posts in a wide variety of the major British and foreign institutions.
